I've literally been lurking on this thread for most of the last 8 hrs trying to learn as much as possible. I'm definitely feeling more educated than I was earlier. Much thanks to all of you, especially OP, for providing links and updates and commentary to this event. Being that this has been a nearly shill-free environment, I'd have to say the whole gang knows their shit and I have mad respect for all of you!

I'm still hungry for knowledge so can you tell me what the electrons going down could mean?

Thanks to all once again! Peace!!!

I've been lurking 8 hours a day for a year and still don't get it. Talk about solar density.

I agree Clovis. Have to just sit back in awe, listen and learn. Good people.

EARTH NARROWLY DODGES ANOTHER BULLET-This CME would have been a humdinger if it only happened a few days ago. It's always the quiet ones--AR1745 has only recorded one C1 flare in the past 4 days and then Blammo!

.24 hr Summary...Solar activity increased to high levels. Region 1745 (N13W80, Cao/beta)produced a long-duration M5/3n flare at 22/1332 UTC (R2, Moderate)associated with Types II and IV radio sweeps (estimated Type II speed1237 km/s), and a 370 sfu Tenflare. A fast moving, partial-halo coronalmass ejection (estimated speed 1488 km/s) was also associated with theM5 flare with the bulk of the ejecta directed westward, though thereappeared to be a small Earthward component. Region 1756 (S20E41,Dai/beta-gamma) produced occasional C-class flares during the period asit grew at a moderate pace and developed a beta-gamma magneticconfiguration. Region 1755 (N10E52, Dsi/beta-gamma) showed gradual spotand penumbral growth in its trailer portion and developed a beta-gammamagnetic configuration.

Solar Wind-

.24 hr Summary...ACE data indicated possible CH HSS effects. Wind speed was elevated inthe 410 to 500 km/s range. Phi data indicated a Toward (-) solar sectororientation during most of the period. IMF Bt was variable in the 1 to 7nT range with a gradual upward trend after approximately 22/1830 UTC.IMF Bz ranged from +/- 4 nT and was mostly southward after 22/1200 UTC. Just after 22/2045 UTC, ACE/SWEPAM data became suspect due to likelyproton contamination from the earlier CME.

Geospace-.Forecast...Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at unsettled to activelevels on 23 May, with a slight chance for minor storm levels, due to CHHSS effects. Activity is expected to decrease to quiet to unsettledlevels for the first part of 24 May, with a slight chance for activelevels, as CH HSS effects diminish. Activity is expected to return tounsettled to active levels midday on 24 May through 25 May, with aslight chance for minor storm levels, due to an expected glancing blowfrom todays partial halo CME.

Thank you so much for informing us, I really appreciate the intelligent people on GLP. You guys really know your stuff. This thread makes up for the really lame ones. Thanks for keeping us informed. Today really frightened me, not sure if this fear is legitimate or not but definitely going to continue to follow this thread. :)

GOes is still down, and if you browse the SDO data half the western limb lights up.

I mean correct me if i'm wrong, do normal M class flares and the following CME's knock out GOES and a few others momentarily often?

Quoting: Da fuq

I thought it was obvious, but you saying that no one really knew what was going on was incorrect.maybe you replied to the wrong post, but these replies had nothing at all to do with any instruments going down.they had to do with the proton flux riseyou stating that 'no one really knows' can scare a new reader or a now and then lurker of this thread into thinking that WE DO NOT KNOW wtf is going on, when in fact we do

as I have already posted earlier along with lots of info and links on the subject.. this event was not about any size of any flare. the flare size was not fudged, changed, hidden etc.

everything that is going on is because of the protons that were ejected from the sun with the CMEanything that had to do with the M flare is long over with. the satellite interruptions or any malfunctions of sensors onboard the satellites is/was caused by the solar radiation storm that has occurred

yes, instruments on satellites do go down often when there are larger particle proton events.this has happened many times in the past when there has been a SEP event and in fact is quite expected when there is a SEP eventespecially when there is a quick onset of the SEP eventthis is even stated on the NOAA scales

we are in the middle of a S2 solar radiation storm at the momentalmost at the S3 levelhere is the scale for S2 that has been posted today

Biological: passengers and crew in high-flying aircraft at high latitudes may be exposed to elevated radiation risk.***

Satellite operations:infrequent single-event upsets possible.

Other systems: small effects on HF propagation through the polar regions and navigation at polar cap locations possibly affected. [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

I think we all have our individual specialties and primary areas of interest in life, and there isn't enough conscious energy nor time in the day to become well versed in everything you'd like to learn about. So that's why it's vital that people openly share their knowledge & findings from their primary fields of interest and this will serve to raise the level of awareness of the collective and all who are willing to listen.

For me, I'm primarily interested in Psychology, Sociology, Spirituality, Consciousness - things of that nature. That being said I'm very curious about space weather and how cosmic & solar events can impact the Earth and more importantly, influence human consciousness.
